woolly piles...

well...i've been a bit busy with a bit of this, that and the other recently...

it was Clutter City on Saturday...the weather was nice so that meant we didn't have many people coming inside to browse...shame, but i don't blame them...if i hadn't had a stall i would probably have been heading out the city too...

woolly piles...this is my wrist warmer stash...i usually sell quite a few of these little delights at Clutter City...(even the summer ones)...i make grown up sizes and also children sizes too...i sell them for £9, and £5 for the smaller ones...think i might take them round a few nice shops here in lovely Norwich to see if they want to buy any in for the Autumn...any thoughts anyone??

this is a rather lovely brooch made by Canny Belle who had a stall at Clutter City...i love it...and it seems very apt with the weather at the mo...

notebook covers

i made a fair few sales which was good, and i got to sit and chat with my friend Rachael too...the world is now a better place...

well...i'm off on Saturday with Kath from  Inverleith on a very exciting adventure up to Nottinghamsire to meet the fantastic Tif (Dottie Angel) and Rachelle (Ted & Agnes) i really can't wait for a day with like minded crafty types...i have a feeling next weeks blog posts will be picture heavy...with chopped off heads...

have a good one folks...

a crafty morning...

actually it was more like a crafty evening...

last night i started on cutting out some cloud cushions ready for the Clutter City fair...i was thinking of selling them in groups of 3, like these i made a few weeks ago...

 i cut 12 out and they all need stuffing tonight...i have 3 willing helpers so that should be a good distraction from the football...

have a good weekend folks...we off to see a man about a dog tomorrow...quite literally...

dried off and back into it...

i say dried off...that would be nearly dried off...

it was school holibobs last week...so off we went camping...it was great fun to catch up with friends and just be in the great outdoors (and good old british weather)...i won't give you a day by day account...but i think the few pics i did take cover every weather eventuality quite nicely...

this picture was taken just after we had packed up the tent to come home...in rain and wind...we moved the tent to start packing it away and a frog hopped out from underneath...its a shame i couldn't get a photo of him, he was quite large! my camera and phone were packed safely away from the rain...

the day we came home was my birthday...and even the rain couldn't dampen my spirits...

 my necklace from Bod...aka Head Of Finance...aka my hubby...

 a box of wool and a gorgeous purse from my 2 best friends...they know me too well..

and this is Tallulah's top ted...i found him here this morning after breakfast

when we were away last week, i found out that i had a stall at Clutter City, which is a lovely crafty 'do' situated here in sunny Norwich...so this means i have been busy recently...pics to follow of my recent makes...

...bye...

odds and ends...

what do you do with yours...

off for a week camping now...have covered every weather condition...from bikini to winter woolies...bring it on great british weather...i'm ready for ya...

is it just me...

is it just me or am i going mad...this thought has been rattling around my head since friday night... i was going through some of my usual blogs and reading up on what everyone has been up and making/wearing/eating etc and generally taking a peek into someone elses life really...

i like blogs...i like real life...but after reading one of my faves on friday night i found myself overcome with a sense of what i can only described as 'WTF???'

the author of the blog asking for donations towards a new roof for her house...a beautiful house she shares with her hubby and cat...what is the world coming too...is it just me?? am i the one with the problem??? needless to say, she got a few angry replies to this...but also a fair few donations too...

the author has her own business, no children and a hubby who works too, plus a successful shop from her blog...so why the need to stoop so low?

this has left me with a sour taste in my mouth and i doubt i will be reading the blog again...

so please tell me folks...is it just me? am i out of touch with the world?

sorry for the sunday rant...i'm looking forward to hearing all your thoughts...

yarn bomb and yarn stash...

a bit of yarn bombing has been going on here in sunny Norwich...

all the lamp posts outside the City Hall were bombed and the lion...and then removed by the council...and then replaced when the 'bombers' explained that they had put them there as part of the Norfolk & Norwich Festival going on at the moment...i think they look lovely...

this week has been all about sorting, tidying, de-cluttering and organising...i dare to think of how many balls of wool i have...but it was good to sort them out and see what i have got...best get crocheting this weekend...

butterflies and birds...

happy weekending folks whatever you do...
